Archive for November, 2013

Calendar week 36 (September 2nd to September 8th) was an interesting or rather frustrating week. I had 14 sales in total but 5 of them were cancelled. What a pity! The good thing is though that I got another payment from Zazzle of over €50.

Like this:

35th calendar week of 2013 was another average week full of sales on Zazzle for me, myself and I 🙂 I was able to sell 4 products. Not much but none of them got cancelled and they are all green (paid). Perfect!

This is a slightly photo edited version of a photo we took back in 2003. It was not really a good photo because of foggy weather but the crisp effect turned it out to be unique and that’s what customers on Zazzle seem to cherish!

As this is the third postcard sale during this week, you can see that I did not really earn much during that week. Maybe $1, mainly because of the fourth sale being more expensive than a card:

It definitely pays off to do some research and NAME things like waterfalls as people who search for specific landmarks will find your products. There are way too many regular boring waterfalls available. Make your products special!

They join Twitter, tweet some messages and are crushed that their “promotion” does not have any effect.

If this sounds like your experience, you did it all wrong.

Sorry to say this but Twitter is an easy website for free promotion but you need to do it the right way!

It has no use sending out tweets and then hoping to sell something. Twitter is a social website, so you need to be social!

What you have to do in order to generate success through Twitter:

Find Twitter users with similar interests and related tweets. Use the search box on tip of the Twitter page and search for a relevant topic, e.g. Zazzle. Then follow some users who share the same interest.

When you see related tweets (e.g. about Zazzle), click on “retweet” and share their tweets! That way you spread their word and most Twitter users are very likely to go to your profile, follow your tweets and retweet what you had to say!

When you receive a notification from Twitter that someone followed you, check out their profile and follow them back!

When you receive a notification that some has re-tweeted a tweet than it is your duty to retweet one of their tweets!
